The Morning Benders are an indie band from Berkeley, California. The band consists of Julian Harmon, Tim Or, and Chris Chu. They already have one very successful album released in 2008, 'Talking Through Tin Cans'. They have toured with Grizzly Bear, The Kooks, MGMT, Death Cab, Yeasayer and more. The new album, 'Big Echo' has leaked (due out March 9). I'm blown away by it really.
Produced by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, this album is full of amazing retro indie pop/rock. Apparently, it took less then two weeks to record and edit this album. It has immediate credibility, I connected with it as soon as I heard the opening song 'Excuses'. 'Promises' has a very catchy melody and sing along lyrics..its full of energy. 'Morning Sighs' starts off very slow, like the morning. Soft drums, and softer guitar. Then it builds up, and the guitars add layers on top of each other. I can't recommended this album enough. Check out the video for 'Excuses' below, and buy this album!
